Build log

I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details).

Please note that this bug _might_ apply to -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS as well; in both cases it should be fixed. Also, if this is due to the package in question not respecting user-defined LDFLAGS, you should get to fix that too.

Check the attached build log.

Thanks,
Diego

The attached patch fixes this bug by working around the upstream Makefile bug using sed.
As the newest versions also suffer from this, I will report it to upstream as soon I find the appropriate place.

ccs-tools-1.8.0_cleaner_sed.patch

This second patch builds upon the bugfix patch, but is completely unrelated to this bug.
It is merely an optical improvement without functional change; I only post this here so it could be included in a revision bump without additional hassle.

It will replace two sed calls by a all-around more clean one.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks!
